A rare opportunity

Seeing his greedy and timid look, the little girl couldn't help but show a look of contempt! As if she wanted to see Li Yu's embarrassing appearance, she didn't say anything, nor did she leave. She just stood quietly by the door, staring at Li Yu.

It would have been fine if he didn't see the food, but the sight of the delicious food made Li Yu's stomach growl! He couldn't help it, pointed at the food with a sly look, and said to the maid with a charming smile:

"Big sister! This is..."

The maid saw the question and didn't want to embarrass him. After all, it was the master's order, and she didn't know who the man was. She was afraid that if she offended him, she would be in trouble. So she nodded silently.

When Li Yu saw it, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He reached out to pick up the roast chicken, retreated to the corner, squatted down, opened his mouth and started to bite it with the juice dripping from it!

The maid was surprised to see that he was not sitting on the chair next to the table, but squatting on the ground with a roast chicken in his hand! She didn't know that this had become his habit! It was a blessing for beggars to have a full stomach, so why would they care about tables, chairs, and benches? Every day, they would squat in the corner to eat with the food they begged for.

The maid saw Li Yu wolfing down his food, and she couldn't help but feel pity and contempt. She thought to herself: Is this guy the reincarnation of a starving ghost? How could he be so careless about his image?

How could he know that Li Yu had not eaten anything for many days, and when he saw food, he would not care about his eating manners? Besides, he seemed to have no idea what image was.

While Li Yu was devouring his food, in the main hall of Qiyun Sect, Lu Yiwei sat in the middle, with the ten elders sitting on both sides. At this time, the elder was telling everyone what he had learned from Li Yu.

After the great elder finished his narration, Lu Yiwei frowned and said:

"So, this Li Yu has nothing to do with Blind Mountain?"

"Hmm... Sect Master! It's hard to say whether there is a connection or not. But from what I see, Li Yu doesn't seem to be lying. Of course, we need to send someone to investigate before we can make a conclusion."

The Great Elder pondered.

"What the Great Elder said is absolutely right! Well... we are not too confident that others can go, so how about the Nineth and Tenth Elders please take the trouble to go?"

Lu Yiwei immediately agreed and spoke to the ninth and twelfth elders.

The ninth elder was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, who looked smart, capable and resourceful. The tenth elder was a muscular man with bulging muscles, looking strong and powerful.

The two of them stood up and bowed:

"Subordinates take orders!"

Lu Yiwei looked at the two of them and said:

"There is no time to lose, both of you should go and come back quickly!"

The two men agreed, turned around and left the hall, jumped up, and disappeared in a flash!

After the ninth and tenth elders left, Lu Yiwei glanced at everyone and sighed:

"Alas! Ma Ji was severely poisoned. The poison has already invaded his sea of ​​consciousness, causing him to become confused. Although the Third Elder, the Sixth Elder and I have tried our best to treat him, the results have been minimal! It seems that even if we get the antidote, it will be difficult for him to regain consciousness.

But this person has a special identity and is of great importance. If something happens here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to report to the higher-ups. Do you have any good ideas?"

All the elders stared at each other, and remained silent!

They all knew Ma Ji's identity. Of course, in Qiyun Sect, only the ten elders and the sect master knew about it. The rest of the people only knew that he had a noble identity, but they didn't know what his identity was.

After a long while, the great elder muttered:

"Well... Sect Master! In my opinion, we should keep it secret for the time being! First, he might get better slowly. Second, we might be able to find a replacement. Third, the person who is sacrificed doesn't necessarily have to be a clear-headed person!

If it really doesn't work, we can only tell the higher-ups. I think by then it will be too late for him to change people, so for the sake of the overall situation, he will have to accept it. Then we will be rewarded for our sacrifice, and he can't blame us.

At present, we must strictly keep the news secret to prevent it from leaking out and causing displeasure from above, which would allow other sects to take over. This would be very disadvantageous to our Qiyun Sect! Not only would we lose the throne of the first sect in Hongzhou, but we might even be annihilated!"

Who doesn't know the result? According to the Great Elder, this is gambling! Of course, you may win, but if you lose, then Qiyun Sect will really face a catastrophe!

But if you gamble, you may have a chance of winning. If you don't gamble, there will only be one result, and that is losing! Everyone knows what kind of person the above person is! The elder said that implicitly. If Ma Ji's condition is reported now, that person will definitely choose other sects and give up Qiyun Sect. Because the Green Immortal Sect, which is known as the second sect in Hongzhou Continent, has a replacement!

If this is the case, even if the person above doesn't blame it, Qiyun Sect will be finished! After all, he has been the boss for so many years, and there are many sects coveting this position, and there are even more people who have been offended! It is estimated that everyone in the 180 large and small sects in Hongzhou is holding a stone in their hands, waiting for Qiyun Sect to fall into the well! Especially the Green Immortal Sect, they are hoping that Ma Ji will get into trouble so that they can replace him.

For now, we can only take a gamble! Everyone knows that Ma Ji is already in bad shape. It is basically impossible to find a replacement for him! You have to know that they found Ma Ji with great effort and by chance. It is extremely difficult to find another one now!

Fortunately, after Ma Ji was rescued, he was taken into the secret realm of Qiyun Sect. Except for the Sect Master and the ten elders, everyone else only knew that he was back, but had no idea where he was! Therefore, it was not difficult to block the news now.

All the elders nodded immediately. Lu Yiwei also agreed with it! Because, as the master of protecting the country, he knew that person better! At that time, even if he just wanted to save his own face, he would not blame them and could only accept the facts. Although he would settle the score later, as long as the sacrifice did not cause any trouble, and he said a few more good words and sacrificed some of the interests of Qiyun Sect to him, everything would be fine!

If they just want to block the news, then it would be best not to let others see him. However, he is a stupid person, so he needs someone to take care of him. We can't let the elders take care of him, right? But if we use more people to take care of him, these people can't always not show up in front of everyone, right? If they don't show up, it will inevitably cause others to speculate. If they show up, the news may leak out!

Seeing Lu Yiwei's uncertain expression, the elder knew what he was worried about and immediately whispered:

"Master, don't worry. Isn't Li Yu the most suitable candidate? Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, we can't let him go! In this case, why not let him go and take care of Ma Ji?"

When Lu Yiwei heard this, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:

"Yes! Good idea!"
